Runtech Systems, Nash, Hibon and Robuschi at MIAC in Lucca


Join the MIAC 2023 exhibition in Italy and meet experts from different Ingersoll Rand businesses – Nash, Robuschi, Hibon and Runtech Systems. The event takes place in Lucca on October 11-13.

Runtech Systems presents fit-for-purpose RunEco vacuum system and efficient doctoring and dewatering solutions for forming and drying sections, which are the fundamental base for the good energy efficiency and low cost for paper, board, tissue and pulp production. Runnability orientated RunPro offers web stabilizing, machine geometry modifications and ropeless tail threading to eliminate runnability problems and to ensure fluent paper making process.

Together with Nash, another Ingersoll Rand brand, we are the only company that can supply both liquid ring pumps (LRP) and dry vacuum systems, or a combination of them, for a so-called hybrid system. In addition, Runtech offers doctors and save-alls, making our offering complete for paper machine dewatering. With this unique portfolio, we can always find a perfect fit for our customer’s demands, needs and budget.

Presentation at MIAC Conference – Tissue session

Leonardo Cavirani, Project Manager, Runtech Systems, will give a presentation “Efficient paper machine vacuum system rebuilds and optimization” in MIAC Tissue Conference on October 11. The presentation covers a case, where RunEco system enables a mill to produce needed vacuum in an energy-efficient, water-free way.

RunEco vacuum system is developed specially to take into account the challenges and demands related to the dewatering and runnability of paper machines. EP Turbo Blowers are designed to operate efficiently across a wide range of vacuum levels and air flows allowing paper mills to optimize vacuum levels. High speed motors, driven by frequency converters, allow a typical EP Turbo to provide vacuum levels between 30 and 70 kPa. A wide range of impeller designs allows highly efficient levels across the operating range. This means that the amount and usage of throttling valves can be reduced to a minimum. The result is energy savings of 30- 70% compared to traditional vacuum systems. Energy efficiency is a key feature of the solution. It comes from both turbo technology itself, and the ability to measure water removal and adjust the vacuum to the optimal level. With today’s electricity prices and environmental concerns, it is very important to cut down the energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
